Silverlight Terrace you and i,

Her justification was this: the family would fall under a leader who did not know how to lead. They had become something bigger than the sisters had imagined. More than three, there was an entire group of Mandarin wolves, and likely more to soon arrive. She was no longer her sisters' keeper; Ying was responsible for the safety of tens, including the bastards whom her sister might bare.

Hydra was important, but never more important than her blood. Ying would not make such a proposal, were she not certain of its necessity. She was not interested in leading the wolves of Yuèlóng, but if she could lead by proxy — Ying shook her head.

I will not ask.

Hua's (still unknown) knowledge of the military would not matter, even after any possible confrontations. Whether the plan continued in secret or in blatant disobedience, Ying was indifferent. She had decided on a course of action, and a guardian's mind was not easily changed. 

She turned back to the hare and lifted it once more, placing it at Hydra's feet. When I come find you, it is for an alliance with Jūnshì. Ying lowered herself respectfully, but not low enough to offer insubordination. I do this again now. The relationship between Moonspear and Yuèlóng was presently of little concern. The small fire had grown, and she was unsure of how to stop its spread.
